A Knoxville man died in a partially submerged van after it crashed into a West Knoxville creek Sunday night, police said.

Officers responded shortly after 8 p.m. to the single-vehicle crash off Bridgewater Road, near Comstock Road, to find the 2004 Ford Econoline van upside down in Ten Mile Creek, according to a Knoxville Police Department news release.

The driver, Edwardo Camario, 24, was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to the preliminary investigation, the van appeared to have been traveling north on Bridgewater when it veered off the roadway near the bridge for an unknown reason. The vehicle struck a guardrail on the bridge and a handrail for an adjacent greenway before rolling over into the water, the release states.

"It is believed that alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash," the release reads. "It is unknown at this time if the driver was using his seat belt."
